The rest are perfectly comfortable telling you that black is white. If you say sleeping is unexcellent but napping is okay, suddenly everyone will be "napping".<div>

<br></div><div>I think a "people found sleeping between 10pm and 10am during the week will be woken up and asked to leave the space the first time and banned the second time" rule would pretty much solve 90% of the problem. Maybe make the second time have to be within 30 days of the first?</div>

<div><br></div><div>Though I don't think even this compromise would pass consensus: the minority of people okay with people sleeping overnight or living in the space would block it.</div></div><div><div>

<div dir="ltr">I sometimes feel that sleeping vs resting eyes vs napping is akin to what color should we paint the bike shed? It just is easier to say the bike sheds we make are always going to be X color. Thats it. The differences between resting your eyes, napping and sleeping are almost irrelevant. It just leads to more discussion and wasted time when we could just deal with it one way or another and call the issue "CLOSED FIXED". </div>

<br></div><div>Unfortunately, the sleepers both a) repeatedly sleep overnight even though they know the community overwhelmingly is against it but b) there's a minority of members who will block banning these sleepers from the space.<br>
